Before changing the Huawei network configuration, an engineer investigates: A route aggregator advertises a summary without verifying reachability for all underlying component prefixes and creates a blackhole. Which diagnostic check should be performed first?
Inspect BGP aggregate configuration, contributor routes, specific exceptions and next-hop forwarding. This check isolates the suspected cause before an unsafe change. If confirmed, the targeted action is: Create a controlled BGP aggregate with valid components and safe discard or exception handling. Successful verification is: The peer sees the approved aggregate and every allocated component remains reachable under tested failures.

This check would diagnose BGP peer autonomous-system mismatch, but would not first isolate the described BGP prefix aggregation and specifics. Begin with: Inspect BGP aggregate configuration, contributor routes, specific exceptions and next-hop forwarding.

This check would diagnose Redistribution route tag loop avoidance, but would not first isolate the described BGP prefix aggregation and specifics.

A Huawei Datacom engineer is investigating the following situation: Two route reflectors in one redundancy group use inconsistent cluster IDs and unexpectedly re-reflect a client's route. Which corrective action best resolves the specified issue?

The measurable acceptance criterion is: Reflected routes reach intended clients without repeated originator or cluster loops.
Classify Type 2 MAC/IP advertisements as endpoint reachability and use Type 5 for supported IP-prefix routing needs.
